The venue was a quiet hotel in Myanmar's capital, Yangon. The Burmese participants had little or no prior knowledge of filming stories from real life. A task that would have been daunting in any country posed a particular challenge in autocratic Myanmar, where documenting reality is a risky undertaking for those on both sides of the camera. All the more remarkable then, that, 21 days later, the participants on this residential course had learned how to handle the equipment, grappled with the artistic and ethical aspects of the genre, and researched, wrote, and filmed four short documentary portraits inspired by the subject of "Women in Myanmar." The greatest achievement of the event could well have been the impetus and direction it gave to these budding filmmakers, all of whom are already developing new projects. The DVD features the four final films made by the participants. It also includes the participants' first film exercise and a video diary chronicling the workshop itself. Together, these works provide a vibrant record of a surprisingly rewarding encounter. 580 Verzio Film Festival Submission 655 4 Documentary films 260 Germany : |bLindsey Merrison Film, |c2005. 041 myaengdeu |jeng 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |991286FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_1353_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9146757FL |bFL |d2019-03-08 |l0 |oFL Record 1353 |pHU_OSA_00002999.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-03-08 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 yovDLnY7 966 True |bHU_OSA_00002999 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
